Lil Yachty is ready to quit music to go "full-time" with WWE.

The 29-year-old rapper, who has appeared regularly for the sports entertainment giant since March this year, has an official contract with the company, and he's open to chasing his dream by taking things a step further.

He told Complex: "I'd like to go full-time; I'm trying to go full-time. I won't ever put an album out ever again.

"If I climb the ranks in WWE and get the checks that I want, this music s*** can kiss me goodbye. I swear to God.

"I will be back flipping, getting thrown through tables and whatever else until my body give out on me."

Yachty has released five albums to date, starting with Teenage Emotions in 2017.

He followed that up with Lil Boat 2, a sequel to his 2016 Lil Boat mixtape, and Nuthin' 2 Prove in 2018.

Lil Boat 3 was next in 2020, and his most recent LP, Let's Start Here, dropped in 2023.

Asked about lessons learned in WWE that could translate to live music, the Grammy nominated star insisted there was "no correlation".

He explained: "It's so much different; it's so much more militant you gotta be in WWE. This is my show. I call the shots, I make the rules, I do what I want.

"WWE, it's time, it's cameras… producers. It's so different. It's like militant, and you gotta be on your s***… I always talk to wrestlers about this: You just don't have the leeway you have."

He pointed out that in wrestling, you have times to hit, and your job is to "make everything count" and "captivate that audience" enough to make them tune in the following week.

Referencing his appearances on SmackDown, he said: "You don't see them again till next Friday, and you got a real small time in your segment to get your point across, your message across and be remembered for six more days until next Friday, and hope that you captivated so good that Friday, that, in them six days, you back on TV again.

"If you f*** up or you do some bulls***, you might not be on TV that next week. It's a lot more militant and disciplined, and I love it, man."

While Yachty has primarily appeared as an on-screen manager or ally for current United States Champion Trick Williams, he has also stepped in the ring.

He wrestled his first ever match at Sunday Night's Main Event early in September, which saw him last five minutes against Baron Corbin to earn Trick a title shot, which he won to reclaim his championship.

Trick previously told the Metro newspaper that Yachty is a "natural performer", adding: "Yachty's special, man. He loves the business. He's a smart guy. He's a talented guy."
